2021 Nissan NV250 Tekna DCI 1.5L Diesel · SM71 BXY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following its most recent MOT test on 10 October 2025 at 82,519 miles where it passed with no defects or advisories. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where the vehicle failed initial inspections. While the history shows intermittent issues requiring rectification, the clean sheet from the latest test suggests the current owner addressed identified faults and the vehicle is currently meeting minimum safety standards. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 16,500 miles per annum. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 19,449 miles in a single year, showing a significant spike in workload. Since the subsequent test in October 2024, the vehicle has clocked another 20,462 miles. This high annual mileage typically puts accelerated strain on drivetrain-related components, suspension bushings, and braking systems, which necessitates rigorous mechanical inspections beyond the annual MOT. A buyer should pay close attention to the recurring failures recorded in 2023 and 2024, although the specific mechanical failure reasons were not listed in the summary, the pattern suggests a vehicle that may require reactive maintenance. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection must focus on the suspension geometry for signs of wear, the condition of the shock absorbers, and the thickness of the brake discs and pads. Check for excessive corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as high-mileage commercial vehicles are often exposed to road salt and structural deterioration that may not manifest until a failure becomes critical.
